Obey clothing

The artist/designer Shepard Fairey describes his Obey clothing line as "intelligently irreverent." The brand is an extension of Fairey's artwork and his running commentary on politics and culture. The name—Obey—is pure sarcasm. Fairey wants his audience to do exactly the opposite.

Obey clothing takes the counterculture of skateboarding, adds a critique of pop culture, and wraps it in a warning about political propaganda. It's punk rock sensibility with biting graphic style and an irreverent sense of humor. And it's definitely a good look.

Designers, musicians collaborate to design Obey clothing

To keep his Obey clothing brands fresh and contemporary, Fairey has collaborated with musicians like MC5 and Public Enemy and designers like Erin Wignall and Mike Ternosky. Designed as fashion for the people, Obey clothing appeals to a wide range of fashion tastes. It's clothing inspired by military design and created as work wear basics. In the end, Obey clothing is another one of Fairey's canvases—a way to get his art in the hands and on the bodies of people everywhere.
